Unless I'm mistaken , if a timing belt goes on ANY car it WILL damage the engine. If you whack the clutch in and stop immediately you may limit the damage. Timing belt change intervals vary. Halfords or eBay haines manual £13 new will tell you what the correct timing belt change intervals are. usually 30-60 K miles depending on make. I would never risk it... unless we're talking old banger. On a US market 960, you will have major damage if your timing belt breaks. The engine is what is called an interference engine. The scheduled replacement interval is 70k. If the last replacement is in question, replace the belt.
What else can I help you with?
Is the Volvo B6304F an interference engine?
Yes. If the timing belt breaks while the engine is running you will bend the valves and probably damage the pistons.
Does a 1996 Volvo 850 have a non interferance motor?
The Volvo 850 does not have a non-interference engine. This means that if the timing belt breaks, then serious internal engine damage will inevitably occur.

Is a 1998 Volvo V40 2.0 valve safe if the belt breaks?
If the timing belt breaks on a 1998 Volvo V40 2.0, it can lead to significant engine damage, as this model has an interference engine. In an interference engine, the pistons and valves occupy the same space, meaning that a broken belt can cause the pistons to collide with the open valves, resulting in bent valves, damaged pistons, or other severe engine damage. Therefore, while the car itself may not pose an immediate safety risk in terms of driving, the mechanical failure can lead to costly repairs and potential engine failure. Regular maintenance and timely replacement of the timing belt are crucial for preventing such issues.
Is a 1990 Volvo 740GLE engine an interference engine?
The 1990 Volvo 740 GLE is equipped with a B230F engine, which is considered a non-interference engine. This means that if the timing belt were to fail, the pistons would not collide with the valves, preventing severe engine damage. Regular maintenance of the timing belt is still crucial to ensure the engine operates smoothly and reliably.
Is the 98 Volvo s70 a interference motor?
Yes it is and when the timing belt fails with engine running the valves and pistons will collide causing damage.
Is the Volvo s70 a interference engine?
Yes, the Volvo S70 is equipped with an interference engine. In an interference engine, the pistons and valves occupy the same space, meaning that if the timing belt fails, the pistons can collide with the open valves, potentially causing significant engine damage. It’s important to maintain the timing belt and replace it at recommended intervals to avoid such issues.
Is the Volvo b230 engine safe if the cam belt breaks?

Have a 1999 S-70 Volvo mechanic is saying 105 miles must change timing belt is this true?
Yes it's true : I was looking at the Gates website ( they make timing belts etcetera ) and it shows the recommended timing belt replacement interval for the 2.3 and 2.4 litre five cylinder engines in a 1999 Volvo S-70 as ( 105,000 miles ) It also shows that both engines are ( INTERFERENCE ENGINES ) so if the timing belt breaks engine damage can occur
Does 2005 Volvo s60 have a timing belt or timing chain?
Both the 2.4 & 2.5 Liter S60s have a cam belt that should be replaced every 105,000 miles. Neither is an interference engine. However you will be stranded if the belt breaks.
